“We have forgotten that the world is here prior to us. We have forgotten how things have preceded us, how mountains grew up before our gaze existed, we forget how plants are called before we think to call them and recognize them, we have forgotten that it is plants that call us, when we think about calling them, that come to meet our bodies in blossom.”
— Hélène Cixous, Coming to Writing and Other Essays (via nemophilies)

hot take: the problem isnt the manic pixie dream girl. its the boring ass moody emotional leech guy she always gets paired with. we need more manic pixie dream characters. just give them partners who are as great as them or let them be happy alone! no more smart, beautiful, optimistic, kind girls getting paired with actual mosquitoes of men!

Also: make some manic pixie dream boys. If I wanna see romance maybe I wanna see a giddy boy full of positive energy who tells you fun facts about the constellations. Stop teaching boys they have to be moody and sad and they have to find salvation in a dream girl, this is how you breed Bad Men.

I thought about this for a while and I’ve only ever been able to identify one manic pixie dream guy and it’s buddy the elf from elf and I don’t know what to think about that.

and his romantic partner is Zooey Deschanel…….how the turns have tabled……

“It is true that I am a complete stranger to these people, but they are not strangers to me. I know them rather intimately, in fact; I have made a very thorough study of their faces; I am happy when they are happy, and I am sad when they are overcast with care.”

– Fyodor Dostoevsky, from “White Nights: A Sentimental Love Story (From the Memoirs of a Dreamer),” The Best Short Stories of Dostoevsky (Modern Library, 1992)

“

“Tell me what happens the first time you see a woman naked.”

“The first time you see a woman naked will not be like you imagined. There will be no love, no trust, no intimacy. You won’t even be in the same room as her.

You won’t get to smile as she undresses you and you undress her. You won’t get to calm her nerves with nerves of your own. You won’t get to kiss her, feeling her lips and the edge of her tongue. You won’t get to brush your fingers over the lace of her bra or count her ribs or feel her heartbeat.

The first time you see a woman naked you will be sitting in front of a computer screen watching someone play at intimacy and perform at sex. She will contort her body to please everyone in the room but her. You will watch this woman who is not a woman, pixelated and filtered and customized. She will come ready-made, like an order at a restaurant. The man on the screen will be bigger than you, rougher than you. He will teach you how to talk to her. He will teach you where to put your hands and he will teach you what you’re supposed to like. He will teach you to take what is yours.

You must unlearn this. You must unlearn this twisted sense of love. You must unlearn the definition of pleasure and intimacy you are being taught. Kill this idea of love, this idea of entitlement, this way of scarring one another.”

2019 is so fucked i keep trying to google “feminist quotes on marriage” and “feminist quotes on being a wife” etc and 99.99% of the results are articles titled like “Yes, You Can be a Feminist and Still Love Being a Wife” and “20 Feminist Quotes About Marriage You Need to Read Right Now” and then you click the listicle and no lie it starts off with one audre lorde quote taken completely out of context and is followed by ones by john green, joss whedon, and ian somerhalder. Empowerment culture has given everyone brain worms and the only people who Get It are tween girls on tumblr who say stuff like “i want to shed my skin and eat dirt”
